ONCF's Commitment to Infrastructure Development
The National Office of Railways (ONCF) is embarking on an ambitious project aimed at enhancing the infrastructure of the high-speed rail line extending to Marrakech. This initiative involves a substantial investment of 300 million dirhams (MDH) dedicated to the design and construction of 53 pedestrian metal footbridges over the railway tracks. The project encompasses a comprehensive scope of work, which includes detailed design studies, preparatory works, site installations, fabrication, and the installation of the metal structures, along with necessary civil engineering work and associated artistic structures.
Enhancing Safety and Accessibility
This investment marks a significant step forward in improving safety and accessibility for pedestrians crossing the railway lines in the region. By providing dedicated footbridges, the ONCF aims to facilitate the movement of citizens while ensuring a safe distance from train operations. The initiative aligns with international standards for railway safety and is expected to foster greater public confidence in using the high-speed rail services. The project is also set to stimulate local economies through job creation and increased accessibility to the surrounding areas.
